Couldn't be any worse than the current model for televised news, which is 2-4 buzzword parrots all attempting to shout over each other without ever attempting to address what the others are saying.
Being human doesn't make it good.
Wake me up when there's a better medium than just plain text.
Yeah, the news already has standard looks and standard cadence while reading scripts. A computer made anchor won't go off script, always speaks the same and doesn't decide to change the hairstyle.
God, the cadence alone keeps me from watching the news. Just give me a text article.
It's why the Onion can make such great fake news coverage, or movies use news coverage as an introduction to world building. It's very reproducable...
